DENTISTS CABINET.

Application filed Septembe Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 6, 1907.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM HARVEY Woons, a citizen of the United States, residing at Jasper, in the county of Jasper and State of Missouri, have invented new and useful Improvements in Dentists Cabinets, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to dentists cabinets of that character designed to be supported upon brackets against the wall or to be otherwise suspended above the floor, and one of the principal objects of the invention is to provide a cabinet in which the drawers, slides, shelves and doors are arranged with especial view to facilitating the work of a dentist.

Another object of the invention is to provide a cabinet with a door having a large mirror therein to serve as an office accessory and to hide from View the various unsightly tools, devices and auxiliaries of a dental establishment.

Another object of the invention is to provide a drawer with a swinging tool support comprising a semicircular flat structure having tool holding sockets or perforations therein.

The objects and advantages referred to may be attained by means of the construction illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of a cabinet made in accordance with my invention, and showing the doors, drawers and slides closed. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section of the cabinet taken on the line 22, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section on the line 3*3, Fig. 1.

Referring to the accompanying drawings for a more particular description of my invention, the numeral 1 designates the back of the cabinet provided with a curved upper end 2, and 3 is the top of the cabinet, the bottom 4 being secured to the back 1 and designed to be supported upon brackets at the required height to give ready access to the contents of the cabinet. The sides 5 of the cabinet extend from the top 3 to the bottom 4, the partitions 6, 7 dividing the compartments into-sections. At the right hand side of the upper portion of the cabinet a door 8 is hinged at 9 and provided with a mirror front 10 to hide the contents of a compartment 11 provided with shelves 12 for containing unsightly articles and accessories. On the left hand side of the cabinet, as shown in Fig. 1, a door 13 is hinged, and the compartment behind said door may also be provided with shelves, if desired. Below this compartment is a drawer 14, said drawer having pivotally connected thereto at 15 a tool supporting device consisting of a semicircular support secured to the front portions 16 of the drawer. The tool holding device 17 comprises three semicircular supports 18, 19 and 20 secured one above the other and provided with sockets or perforations 1 for holding the points or shanks of various dental tools. The sides 22 of this drawer terminate at a point back of the pivoted front 16 to give room for the swinging movement of the tool holder. Below the drawer 14 are a series of drawers 23 for containing various articles needed in a dental establishment. A slide 24 is located below the partition 6, and below this slide is a long drawer 25 extending entirely across the cabinet, While below this drawer large sliding drawers 26 are provided.

From the foregoing it will be obvious that a dental cabinet made in accordance with my invention will facilitate the dentists labor in permitting ready access to the various tools and auxiliaries required during the various operations of his profession.

Having thus described claimed as new, is:-

the invention, what is The herein described dental cabinet comprising a com-.

partmcnt closed by a hinged glass door, a series of sheli es in said compartment, a series of drawers at one side of said door in said cabinet, and a closed compartment above said drawers, one of said drawers having a tool holder pivoted thereto, said tool holder comprising" a semicircular stepped device having tool sockets therein, a series of shelves mounted to slide in the cabinet under the drawers and closed compartm'ent, drawers under said sliding shelves, and compartments closed by hinged doors under said drawers.

In testimony whereof, I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
